He said: "The social interaction in the groups was vibrant with everyone made to feel welcome, especially riders who attended on their own.
"Another great feature is that any bike will do as long as it is roadworthy, with a safety check being carried out before the ride starts.
"To be a successful Sky Ride leader you need the ability to get on with people, to be clear when addressing the group, and be an experienced cyclist, all wrapped up with oodles of enthusiasm."
Successful ride leaders will be paid a competitive rate for every Sky Ride they lead and receive full training and support from North East Lincolnshire Council and British Cycling.
